The Brothers Karamazov

Book • 1880
Set in 19th-century Russia, 'The Brothers Karamazov' is a novel that delves into the lives of the Karamazov family, focusing on the three brothers—Dmitri, Ivan, and Alyosha—and their complex relationships with their father, Fyodor Pavlovich Karamazov.

The novel is a murder mystery, a courtroom drama, and an exploration of erotic rivalry, faith, doubt, and reason.

It examines the human psyche, moral dilemmas, and the search for meaning in a world fraught with suffering and uncertainty.

The story revolves around the murder of Fyodor Pavlovich and the subsequent trial of Dmitri, accused of the crime, while exploring deeper themes of Russian life, social and spiritual striving, and the clash between faith and reason.
